Tom Laithwaite picks his favourite dinner-party wines
Here’s a collection that will really dazzle at your next special occasion – all hand-picked by Tom Laithwaite especially for their ‘wow factor’ deliciousness. There’s so much to enjoy here. First up is the lavishly rich, secret Reserva red of Portugal’s biggest Port family – aged in barrels once used to mature their £80+ a bottle vintage Port. Then from a winery that boasts a Tre Bichieri award – Italy’s top gong – you’ve a Super Tuscan style red bursting with blackberry compote fruit flavour and chocolately spice. Highlight in white is an exotic Pinot Gris from Peter Weber’s top Grand Cru cellar in Alsace – each sip delivers oodles of creamy, spiced white peach. Enjoy these and many more in this case of star-buys.
